About our bath re-enamelling in Sandy Bank
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
When to call us in Sandy Bank
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Sandy Bank. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Sandy Bank: your questions answered
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
